Interesting. These guys don't seem to be nutcases.

It would be nice if someone familiar with food irradiation would comment on 
some of the claims made. In particular, how does the reduction in vitamin 
levels after food irradiation compare to other preservation methods (e.g. 
pasteurization)?

Some food cans have a smooth (plastic?) inner coating. What about the 
possibility of that breaking down from irradiation and contaminating the 
food. (The ratio of packaging to content is pretty big for wet cat food.)
